Club Information Bureau Take control of the iPhone's death protection!Know the strength of the passcode lock again

ASCII Club, a member service of ASCII, is updating daily with various serials and special features that only members can read. Although it is a paid membership service, we are currently running a free campaign for 3 days! Please see the end of the article for details.

Today, I would like to introduce "Take care of the death protection of iPhone! Know the strength of passcode lock again" released on February 5th at ASCII Club.

Suddenly become a dry guard with just one passcode !?

Information terminals are an overwhelmingly advantageous tool in terms of protecting private data. The owner is free to set the password without anyone knowing it, and he can also like what to use and how to place it. Others, on the other hand, have no choice but to break through multiple passwords and grasp the whole picture while learning how to use the owner as well as device-specific operations. It's like being told to find a treasure buried somewhere in the back mountain with no hints. Even if the owner is not malicious, such a merciless power balance will be created.

Smartphones, especially the iPhone, are extremely unforgiving. Since the passcode at the entrance of the terminal is strong and all the contents are encrypted, you can not even use the last resort such as physically pulling out the storage and sucking out the data.

The FBI's Apple trial, which caused a sensation in February-March 2016, is a good example. The FBI couldn't unlock the iPhone 5c that the terrorists had and asked Apple to help unlock it in a federal trial, but it was rejected. Eventually another IT company found a solution and helped the FBI to settle the matter, but it is said that the solution was possible only because of the older generation without the current security chips.

In addition to the original strength, there is also a specification that if you miss the passcode 10 times or more in a row, it will become inoperable or initialized. It is almost impossible to challenge the unlocking by guessing. After 10 or more mistakes in a row, the only way to recover from iTunes or iCloud backup data is to know your Apple ID and password to use it. If you're using iTunes encrypted backups, you'll also need that password. If you don't know even one, the game is over immediately.

In fact, there is no fragment of forgiveness. Known for its user-friendliness, the iPhone transforms into a rugged, quiet, and strong guard who doesn't laugh at the meds as soon as he doesn't know his passcode. From the perspective of my family, it can be said that it is a very troublesome existence.

This week's points

Passcode lock (iPhone)

The iPhone has a function to lock or initialize the terminal if the passcode lock is mistaken 10 times or more in a row. It is a specification that requires cooling time until re-challenge step by step if mistakes are repeated.
